DetroiTug's Tug is going together

Impressive - great!

A little more progress. Finally got a few days to work on Chief. Welded in a front and rear bollard post, finished up more welding. Close to paint prep.





Does anyone have a source for small double bit bollards? Iron would be fine, bronze would be better.

Hi Ron,

Check out this company; http://www.davey.co.uk/davey_and_co_products.html

Under deck hardware & Exterior fittings a PDF file will open, about third of the way down is a beautiful all bronze Mooring Bitt.

Finally at the sandblaster..





Supposed to get it back next week painted and ready to start laying decks and building the cabin. I'm glad that steel work is done, I was getting bogged down and burned out on it.

Great to see her in the sunlight, she's going to look lovely on the water.

Boat looks good Ron! Now we gotta get it sitting lower on the trailer or your pickup is going to get wet when launching!! Den

Den,

Probably going to move the axles to the top of the springs instead of the bottom.

A lot going down the road, must be over 50' long. It sure turns heads

Very nice job you have done, the steel work is beautiful.

What kind of paint system will you use?
